My Ottomans are about to get thrashed. Situation is on turn 2 after orders, that squadron of dragoons appearing from ambush managed to throw back those azabs, kill that sahaloz and keep those tufecki pinned into a futile firefight long enough to become target of a charge by those elite cossacks sweeping from my left. Oh yeah and kill the flagbearer of the aga on round 4 so that the scared aga had no command points on round 5. :-)

Scenario take and hold. (His first game I fudged secnario choice so that we would not play attack the village when I have guns and loads of infantry. Also rerolled Cowardly commander hitting his colonel.) He showed impressive grasp of concentrating on the center objective in mid- to late game, even when he would have had a shot on charging down that hill and slaughtering the tufecki totally. Basic game mechanics taught in game 1, loads of special stuff still to by encountered.
